WHEN SUMAC GLiMMERS RED.

Across the sky cold clouds are driven,
From treo and shrub bright leaves are riven
And at my feet nre spread:
Around me gaudy flowers CLEAN yellow,
Fair Natures still more royal color,
When sumac glimmers red.
The gentian in the marsh Is hiding,
There till the first cold frost abiding,
BY hidden waters fed;
Through glisten;ng leaves full shyly glancing
In bluest dress is still enhancing,
When siltnac glimners red.
The timil swallows southwark turning,
For brighter suns and flowers are ycarning,
Mourning the glory ned.
For now how soon Is autumn waning,
And now how fast is winter gaining,
When sumac glimmers red.
Sadly turn from autumn's splendor
OF leaves that glow in sad surrender,
And whisper, Youth had fed
Vague shadows Of the past close round me,
Sorrow outlived again hath bound me
When sumac glimmers red.

since he did the daring act lie has been
drinking very heavily. This evening about
1880 Peer went ont unobscrved with John
Gillespie and stranger, and later was seen
in the same company near his rope. AS he
did not show up by 80 and no trace of him
could be discovered elsewhere it was con.
cluded he must have got on his rope and
ropes and lanterns were procured, and Peer s
brother. with another man, were lowered
down, and near the bottom OF the incline
found his lfeless body badly cut around the
precipice by means of ropes. The general
belief is that he attempted TO walk out on the

Cable-Special to the BEE. Mrs. Brown

morning a new play with the wretched title,
"Civil War;" and every evening performed
in "Man and Wife, in suburban theater.
This afternoon she gave at Brighton theater
the abOve.Damed new play, which will be
produced here Monday night at the
Gaiety theater. London's Long Branch
special went down under invi-
taton of Barton Key, one of her
American managers. q Her part of Faustlne
do Bressier seemed to suit her better than
Ann Sylvester, but really the best female
part is taken by Amy Roselle. Whatever be
Mrs. Brown Potter's acceptance Monday
night 1t is certain her audience will then be
distinguished one. Places to-day are at q
great premium.
THE OPERA IN LONDON.
The three opera houses continue in keen
competition. All their American singers

he underlines Patti next Thursday "La

HOTELS AND DRINKS.
Americans In London congratulate them

permit restaurants and public houses here to

courses. OF these, fish with morsel OF wine
and roast, with some light red wine, are
the emperor's favorites. Formerly, like most
OF Prussa's famous men, he was heavy

make him eat enough to sustain strength.
Wine he has never been very fond of. Fruit

with small glass champagne.

quently asleep before the last servant is fairly
out OF the room, as was said of the emperor
during his last Illness.
OTHER DAILY CHARACTERISTICS. -
His tireless energy from early to late In
carrying out equally the smallest and most
important parts of his duties are of great ac-
count. The discovering and handling of
men, together with great kindness in keep
ing each man in his place, are the kaisers
strong personal characteristics. He has laid
out the path for all who come in contact
with him, from empress to personal attend
ant. Each must do what Is allotted, and
must also keep strictly within these limits.
With each official, with each servant, the
kaiser speaks only of the duties Of his de.
partment. Formerly the emperor even
opened oil his own letters; now he
allows this to be done for him.
Usually the emperor reads no newspapers,
but of late Is much READ to. Clippings from
newspapers of all nations are sent him from
the foreign Office so that in this way he keeps
track of the worlds news and opinions when
well. DR., Neon Lauer calls each morning tc
give sort of certificate of health. During
his recent serious illness DR.. Timann SLEPT
in the palace each night, and servant SLEPT
in the room next the bedroom, but as soon a:
the emperor regained sufficient strength to be
out of bed the old routine began again.

II am anxious to express to my people my
warm thanks for the kind-more than kind
reception met with going to and from
Westminster abbey with all my children
and grand children. The enthusiastic recep.
ton met with then, as we'll as on those
eventful days in London, as well as at Wind
sor on the occasion of the jubilee, has
touched me most deeply. It has shown that
the labor and anxiety of fifty long years,
twenty-five Of which were spent in un:.
troubled happiness, shared by my beloved
husband, and while an equal number
were full of sorrows and trials borne
without his shelterlng arm and his wis Q help,
have been appreciated by my people. This
feeling and sense Of duty towards my dear
country and my subjects, who are so in
separately bound up with my life, will en-.
courage me In my task, often very difficult
and arduous one, during the reminder of my
life. The wonderful order preserved o a
this occasion and the good behavior of the
enormous multitude assembled merit my
highest admiration. That God may protect
and abundantly bless my country, Is my

German Persecution in France.

German Persecution in France.
tCOpBrigM 1857 by NeW York Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 25.-The prisoners, Koech-
lin and Blech, who were recently convicted
of treason in belonging to the French Patri-
otic league, were to-day transferred from
Leipsic to Magdeburg fortress, and their
associates, Schfferman and Trapp to Gratse,
where they will remain until their periods of
detention expire. The opinion throughout
Germany is that the prisoners have been
leniently treated and may yet have their
sentences modified, but their only chance of
obtaining communication is in a cessation of
the patriotic leagues agitation and in their
making direct appeal to the emperor.
The tone of the French press tends to
inciting an increase of the severiti es against
the French malcontents in Alsace-L Orraine.
The position of Germans in France has be-
come, under social prosecutions, barely toll
cradle. They would be hunted out of the
country altogether but for the protection
guaranteed them under the Frankfort treaty.
The latest anti-German project to which the
attention of Berlin officials has been directed
is the proposal before the chamber of depu-
ties making foreigners resident in France
who may be members of an association hos
tile to French interests liable to
fine and to Imprisonment and eXpul-
sion. The proposal Is capable of such elastic
Interpretation as to cover all Germans So
jOurning in France. The measure, if sup
ported by the government, will be assumed
here to be directly hostile to Germans and
will lead to energetic remonstrance as q
break of the Frankfort treaty.
The emperor has completely recovered.
He drove out at noon to-day, accompanied
by the Duchess of Baden, and in the after
noon heard long reports from Count Herbert
Bismarck. Yesterday he resumed his Gus
tom of appearing at the window to return
the greetings of the multitude that daily
gathers in front of the palace. lie looked
